Coronal CT of the abdomen in a patient status post bone marrow transplant shows diffuse bowel wall thickening affecting both the small bowel and colon. Graft versus host disease is the second leading cause of death after stem cell transplant. Additionally, acute graft versus host disease was defined as occurring within the first 100 days following stem cell transplant while chronic graft-versus-host disease was said to occur after 100 days. In 2014, the NIH revised the criteria for distinguishing between acute and chronic disease. #TummyTuesday #AbdomenTuesday
